OriginEarly 16th century: from antic. antiquity from Middle English: This word comes from Latin antiquitas, from antiquus ‘old, former’ developed from ante ‘before’ (see ante). Antics (early 16th century) is from the same source by way of Italian antico ‘antique’, used to mean grotesque, and as a term for the grinning faces carved on architecture fashionable at the time. From this it came to be used for grotesque behaviour.
